Lost at Sea

Description

She waits at the window with her lovely head bowed, silent. Waiting. Waiting for the full moon when once again the Selkie will take the form of a human man and meet her on the sands. Nothing else matters until then.

This long necklace was a joy to make. I've transferred the image of one of my digital collages to polymer clay, coated with liquid clay, baked, buffed, and painted the frame with metallic paint, and then patina'ed it.

The fish was molded in polymer clay, covered in metallic powder, baked, and then patina'ed, and then covered in liquid clay, baked again, and finally buffed to a sheen.

There are three molded copper clay beads,some clear and green sparkly glass beads, some turquoise ceramic beads, and odds and ends of antiqued brass chain.

The necklace hangs at 30 inches, with the fish and the girl adding 4 inches. The fish is 2 inches wide by 1 1/8 inch long, and the pendant frame is 1 1/4 inches wide by 2 inches long.
